It certainly wasn’t an easy Grand Prix of Spain for the two Ducati Marlboro Team riders at the tricky Jerez circuit but a show of character and determination. For Casey Stoner, who was never completely comfortable with the set-up of his GP8 all weekend, his desire to give 100% combined with a touch of bad [...]

A few days after the opening MotoGP event of 2008 in Qatar, Casey and Marco attended the international media launch of the new Bridgestone Battlax BT-016 tyre, which uses tyre technology derived from MotoGP to produce a tyre that gives high-level grip performance in braking, cornering and acceleration.
Casey, fresh from his race win at the [...]

MARCO – (Ducati Marlboro Team) 16th; 1′56.730
“Unfortunately there’s not much to say about today because things haven’t gone well. We’ve tried a lot of things but nothing has had [...]

Final free practice times
MARCO, 15th fastest: 1.57.091
Marco picked up where he left off in the test here, using the first hour to immediately get onto the same pace that he’d set just over a week ago.
Slightly warmer temperatures compared to that test and the sand that has blown onto the circuit since then made for a slippery surface, which made life [...]
Just a few days after completing their preseason testing schedule in Qatar, the Ducati Marlboro Team return to the Losail International Circuit this weekend to begin their defence of the MotoGP World Championship. Sunday 9th March 2008 will go down in history as the date that a Grand Prix took place at night for the [...]
